'P' is for Patience

In "'P' is for Patience", Joanne Pasienza combines her expertise in the field of pediatric dentistry with her love for writing, poetry, and artistry to create a calming and informative guide for children and what they can expect when going to the dentist’s office. Through rhyme, the alphabet, and creative and realistic artwork, various aspects of a dental visit are covered. Children will learn about hygiene, the structure of their teeth, why a cavity forms, the tools the dentist uses, and the equipment used to help the dentist look inside their mouths. By approaching the topic in a straight forward and honest manner, children can overcome their anxiety about visiting the dentist and be rewarded with a bright, beautiful smile.
